1774 "Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"which constituted "Instructions from the Committee to the Representatives in Assembly" of Pennsylvania as drafted by John Dickinson, a signer of the Constitution and distinguished in other respects as a leader in the period 1774-1787, as excerpted:
"Honour, justice and humanity call upon us to hold, and to transmit to our posterity, that liberty, which we received from our ancestors. It is not our duty to leave wealth to our children: but it is our duty, to leave liberty to them. No infamy, iniquity, or cruelty, can exceed our own, if we, born and educated in a country of freedom, intitled to its blessings, and knowing their value, pusillanimously deserting the post assigned to us by Divine Providence, surrender succeeding generations to a condition of wretchedness, from which no human efforts, in all probability, will be sufficient to extricate them; the experience of all states mournfully demonstrating to us, that when arbitrary power has been established over them, even the wisest and bravest nations, that ever flourished, have, in a few years, degenerated into abject and wretched vassals." "1774 Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"

Question: Why is Hillary campaigning in New Hampshire at all, especially on a big lib college campus? She should have had the ugly nasty liberal woman vote sewn up months ago, no?

Note to Elizabeth Warren: Yes, you are a very nasty ugly liberal woman—I totally agree with you. Go ahead and vote, as if any nasty ugly liberal woman ever voted for a Republican anyway.
